Kyoto Food Tour — Nishiki, Pontocho, and Gion Tastings

"We highly recommend this tour! It was very fun and also taught us new things about Kyoto and Japan. Haruka was an excellent guide!"

"This tour was fun and Taiga was a great guide! We went to some places for food and drinks that I would not have found otherwise. Taiga also incorporated some interesting Japanese history and culture. It was a lot of fun ending with karaoke!"

"Very cool tour to see a different side of Kyoto our Guide Taiga was very nice and cool, we met lots of people. I would definitely recommend this tour!"

"Taiga was a fun and informative guide! I liked how he added historical elements to the tour when it's ultimately about drinking and eating good food. It was appreciated, and the choices for bars were cool overall!"

"Lived the vibe. Was tired but inspired and revitalized by Mariri and my two Co travelers who are knowledgeable about sake and whiskey. Love the local vibe; The food, the sake bar and the whiskey bar vibe. Highly recommended for personal and intimate small group experience. Wow smoking in the whiskey bar. Fun peeps. Fun time. Meitaki atupaki."

"We had a great time with Moto! This is my second tour with him around Kyoto and it was just as good as I remembered. He explored some fun historical/cultural areas and was so invested in learning about every person who came on the tour. Had some great food, great drinks and saw some incredible parts of Kyoto."

"Masa was very fun, informative, and interactive. Great tour and amazing guide. Highly Recommended"

"Great evening exploring Kyoto’s food scene I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Shiyou, was very welcoming and spoke fluent English, which made everything easy. She introduced us to several local spots and dishes that I definitely wouldn't have found on my own. What I appreciated most were the conversations; Shiyou was very open to questions, and I learned a lot about Japanese culture and daily life through our talk. It was a fun, insightful experience and a great way to see a more local side of Kyoto. A great night out!"

"Awesome tour! Shiyou was amazing! Super fun! Would definitely recommend it!!!"

"Great tour, Shiyou was fantastic and very helpful on the history of Kyoto and everything else Japan. It was a bit pricey but that's okay. You're in Kyoto, don't be stingy!!"

"This is the second year in a row I've done this tour. Taiga was my guide last year and I loved the tour so much when we came back to Japan again this year with friends who have never been before I automatically booked this tour. We were fortunate enough for get Taiga again. He is so much fun he engaged with the group shared a lot of knowledge about Japans food and culture along the way. The spots he picked for us were great. If I'm ever in Kyoto again I would not hesitate to take this tour with him again."

"Masa was an amazing guide! We discovered places that we would never have done otherwise and had some great food. highly recommneded"

"The bar crawl was an excellent way to start our time in Kyoto - Masa San was a great host and the places we went to were the kind that we would never have found, or been brave enough to enter on our own. I ate beforehand as I was worried there would be no food I could eat as a vegetarian, but I needn’t have bothered as there were many options (although I believe these were seasonal so may change). Masa also gave us some great recommendations for some gardens etc. slightly off the typical tourist track. Overall a fantastic experience, I would definitely recommend."

"Masa was the best guide. He has been so kind and like a friend. he took us to spots we would have never ever looked at and all of them were FABULOUS. highly recommend this tour!!! please go if you’re visiting kyoto ❤️ 100/100"

"Moto, out guide was very nice and the tour ia great."

"Very nice tour, highly recommend it!"

"Merisa was an awesome guide. It was a blast."

"Great tour, enjoyed the different foods. Friendly group of people. Interesting sake tasting which was new to us. Nice whiskey bar. Really enjoyed our guide 🙂 Only negative for us is people smoking cigarettes in the bar/restaurant area - we would not usually choose to be in such an environment ourselves. Otherwise we do recommend this tour."
